According to the Kaduna State Police Command, a comment on a Facebook post attributed to Hadaina Hussaini (Dan-taki) has been making the rounds on social media with the caption, “Kaduna Police Officer Threatens Retaliation Against Southerners in Uromi Killings.”
According to a press release signed by the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, to set the record straight, Hadian Hussaini is neither a member of the Nigeria Police Force nor personnel of the Kaduna State Police Command.
The statement read, “It is pertinent to note that his picture captured on Police Uniform as displayed on the Social Media, which is improper dressing, is that of him when he was a member of the Police Special Constabulary attached to the Kaduna State Constabulary Office but was dismissed from the voluntary outfit two (2) years ago due to his questionable character.
“As such, members of the general public are advised to carefully observe the identity card attached to the uniform, which contains the word ‘PSC/KD,’ meaning Police Special Constabulary. Similarly, the pictures of him in uniform were posted on the Facebook platform two (2) years ago, prior to his dismissal.
“The Suspect has been arrested and will be charged in court upon the completion of preliminary investigations in accordance with extant laws.
“The State Command, however, wishes to state categorically that the Nigeria Police Force is a disciplined and regimented organisation committed to upholding law and order and would not condone any form of incitement, hate speech, or threat to the peace and harmony of our dear Country.
“The Commissioner of Police, CP Rabi’u Muhammad psc, mni, wishes to once again call on members of the general public to remain calm and continue to report suspicious incidents of this nature to the Police, the statement said.
